Default Import/Export OE6

I created a new user on my pc and want to import my old emails from OE6 to
the new user profile's OE6. I have been able to move the address book in,
but not the old emails. Any suggestions?

From the new user's OE: File | Import | Messages | Choose Microsoft Outlook
Express and point to the identity you want to import from.

If it is a new Windows user you will have to figure out where the old DBX
files are and choose to import from an OE store directory.

I was unable to import from the instructions in the first message. How do i
go about locating the DBX files?

ToolsOptionsMaintenanceStore folder will reveal the location
of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then StartRunCtrl+V will put the location
in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the
location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under StartControl PanelFolder
OptionsView.
